I cannot sit still – you can find me moving to every beat I hear! This is what I’m channeling when practicing physical distancing. There are some fantastic hip-hop workouts on YouTube that I’ve been trying out. I’m an extremely neat person, and so I’m investing my energy into cleaning and de-cluttering the house. The sense of satisfaction I feel when my living space is tidy is indescribable!

When I’m not working on homework, job applications, or my on-campus job, I’m watching movies or documentaries, playing board games and Jack Box with my roommate and friends, and spending hours talking to my friends and family on the phone or via Zoom.

Now that I’ve found myself with a lot of free time, I’m investing in self-care. Whether it’s a face mask or getting some Vitamin D from sunbathing, I’ve never felt more relaxed!
